The GatoNetworks GDSP is a re-branded version of the R5000 5G Industrial
router from Yinghua Technologies.
The re-branded device comes with OpenWrt preinstalled, and an OpenWrt-based
U-Boot bootloader version. While the flash layout has been kept compatible
with the OpenWrt version found on the stock device (see [5]), the image format
changed, making a bootloader upgrade necessary.
Specifications:
SoC: Mediatek MT7981BA
RAM: 256MB
Flash: SPI-NOR 32 MiB (Winbond W25Q256)
WLAN: MT7976CN DBDC AX Wi-Fi
Switch: MT7531AE (4x LAN Gigabit ports, 1x WAN Gigabit port)
5G: Quectel RM520N modem
Watchdog: an external WDT connected to GPIO 6 is present and always running;
the built-in Mediatek watchdog is also present and effective, but
not used at the moment.
This porting has been tested only with 1x 5G modems installed (the device
supports up to two).
Installation:
Installation is possible via sysupgrade both in the stock device and
re-branded version. However, in the former case, updating the bootloader is
required.
OpenWrt-based U-Boot Bootloader installation
--------------------------------------------
The firmware flashed in the re-branded device at manifacturing time will
flash an OpenWrt-based U-Boot bootloader with some extra recovery features
(see [1]) at first boot.
To update the bootloader, you need to install the mtd-rw module and
insmod it:
insmod mtd-rw i_want_a_brick=1
Then update relevant flash partitions:
mtd erase u-boot-env
mtd erase BL2
mtd erase FIP
mtd write openwrt-mediatek-filogic-gatonetworks_gdsp-preloader.bin BL2
mtd write openwrt-mediatek-filogic-gatonetworks_gdsp-bl31-uboot.fip FIP
And reboot, making sure all previous commands ran succesfully.
If something goes wrong, you can recover your device via the mtk_uartboot
tool.
In my testing, it was possible to start the process even without (un)-plugging
the device, may be handy for remote recovery.
Installation from stock device and firmware
-------------------------------------------
To install vanilla OpenWrt in the stock device (R5000 5G Industrial router
from Yinghua Technologies) running the stock vendor firmware, you will need
to update your bootloader as described in previous section. Remember to use
-F (force upgrade) and -n (not keeping settings).
U-Boot Recovery
---------------
This procedure has been tested only with the OpenWrt-based U-boot bootloader.
Assign your system static IP address 192.168.1.1 and start a TFTP server. The
device will look for an initramfs image named
openwrt-mediatek-filogic-gatonetworks_gdsp-initramfs-kernel.bin
(so you may use openwrt/bin/targets/mediatek/filogic as root dir for your
TFTP server).
Power on the device while keeping the reset button pressed, until you see
a TFTP request from 192.168.1.10. Your environment will be restored to it's
default state.
MAC addresses assignment
------------------------
MAC addresses are assigned slightly differently than in stock firmware. In
particular, the 5 GHz Wi-Fi uses 2.4 GHZ MAC + 1, rather than reusing it with
LA bit set as done in stock firmware. This MAC address is allocated to the
device, so it can be used.
The 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi MAC address is the label MAC. LAN MAC is used to set the
special U-Boot environment ethaddr variable.
device MAC address U-Boot env variable factory partition offset
2.4 GHz Wi-Fi :84 wifi_mac 0x4
5.8 GHz Wi-Fi :85 not present not present
WAN :86 wan_mac 0x24
LAN :87 lan_mac 0x2A
Notes
-----
[1]: the OpenWrt-based U-Boot bootloader you will find installed in the
re-branded device is configured to request for the initramfs image via
TFTP for $gdsp_tftp_tries times before trying normal boot from NOR flash.
Setting this U-Boot environment variable to 0x0 will disable the feature,
which is not implemented in this patch.
[2]: the exposed UART port is connected to ttyS1; the ttyS0 console port is
not exposed.
[3]: the provided bootloader environment has no provision for operating on
BL2 and the FIP partitions. This is an intentional choice to make it
(slightly) more difficult to brick the device.
[4]: it seems GPIO 6 is used both for the "SYS" LED and external WDT.
[5] BL2 expects to find FIP payload at a fixed offset, so some constraints
apply.

The GatoNetworks GDSP is a re-branded version of the R5000 5G Industrial
router from Yinghua Technologies.
Advantages over stock bootloader:
1. supports serving the external GPIO WDT, allowing for easier work in U-Boot
shell
2. supports cool features like netconsole, easy recovery, scripting and so on
3. allows using FIT image and image integrity validation
and ultimately gives you much more flexibility to implement your tweaks.
Known issues
------------
To make it easier to operate the device, console I/O multiplexing support has
been enabled in U-Boot configuration. Setting I/O related U-Boot environment
variables to something like "serial,nc" will have the desired effect. Still,
setting these variables to such a value in the persistent environment will
lead to a crash and make it impossible to boot the system or recover it. I
decided to leave it on anyway since I think it can be very practical in
development.

a specific device. The buildbots however build all devices and therefore
the package isn't build at all, due to unmet dependencies.
While this didn't cause issues with OPKG, APK fails actively due to the
missing packages. Drop the specific dependency, however wants to install

So, as the root cause is mixing kernel support for DSA interfaces having

suggested upstream [1].
So, add support via "openwrt,netdev-name" property and use it on ERX.

The original set of stock partitions was kept in the TR4400 v2 port,
with the same partition numbers but their names prefixed with 'stock_'.
This allowed scripts (installation, back to stock, etc) to run on both
stock and OpenWrt firmware. But this triggers warnings in the device
tree compiler, as partitions of the old and new schemes overlap.
This commit fixes the dtc warnings by deleting the stock partitions,
also renumbering some of the remaining MTD partitions in the process.
Additionally, the 'fw_env' partition is set to read-only.
These changes can break existing scripts as well as user configurations
that utilize the 'extra' partition. Users wanting to run old scripts can
do so by reverting to the 23.05 series releases.

The broadcom PHY driver only has to depend upon PTP_1588_CLOCK_OPTIONAL
if NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING is enabled. The PTP functionality is stubbed
in this case.
Reflect this circumstance in the dependence condition. This allows to
build the driver as a built-in module even if PTP is built as a module.
This is required to include the broadcom PHY module regardless of the
built-setting of the PTP subsystem. On ath79 (and probably more)
targets with Broadcom PHY, Gigabit operation is currently broken as the
PHY driver is only built as a module in case all kernel-packages are
built. Due to this circumstance, affected devices fall back to using the
